Químicas Piedades traces ketamine’s journey through the mythology of its synthesis, out-of-body experiences, ketadelic knowledges, and the clinical and financial counter-history of its medicalization. How is an unruly substance transformed into a next-generation antidepressant? From the Vietnam War to the feudal lords of Silicon Valley; from dance floors to public hospitals, from polluted oceans to the white cosmotechnics that recode it as cure.
Ketamine circulates between dissociation and neuroplasticity, mysticism and patent. A critique of the pharmacological regimes that manage contemporary malaise while neutralizing—or capitalizing on—whatever escapes their control: finitude and the sacred.
